Water is the most important item; plan on a minimum of 5 litres of drinking water per person per day.\u202f We also suggest bringing at least one large 25 litre jerrycan of tap water for washing up and sponge bathing.\u00a0If staying at the\u00a0Bandas\u00a0you need only bring drinking water.<\/p>\n

For meals, you want quick and easy, one or two pot or pan meals where possible. It is also a great idea to take up\u00a0ready made\u00a0meals that just need reheating, especially for the evening dinner on the night of arrival.<\/p>\n

Below\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0find a suggested meal plan for a 2 night stay at either one of our\u00a0Bandas\u00a0or one of our campsites.\u202f The only difference is that at the campsites you will also need to bring all the cooking and eating utensils whereas at the\u00a0bandas\u00a0these are provided for you.<\/p>\n

Drinks other than water\u00a0are\u00a0your preference \u2013 bring 2 or 3 packets of juice, soft drinks, beers, spirits and wines as you like.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1542045394912{padding-top: 17px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_cta h2=”Day 1″ shape=”square” style=”custom” css=”.vc_custom_1741888743009{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;border-left-style: none !important;border-right-style: none !important;border-top-style: none !important;border-bottom-style: none !important;}” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#212121″]Arriving in time for lunch, we suggest a\u00a0sandwich based\u00a0meal so no need to cook.\u202f Bring bread, cold meats or cheeses and vegetables as you prefer to make sandwiches with some easily portable fruits like oranges, apples,\u00a0bananas\u00a0and melons.\u202f For dinner we suggest that you make a stew or curry at\u202fhome<\/a>\u202fbefore you travel; lots of vegetables and a meat of your choice.\u202f Freeze the stew after\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0cooked it in a pot that can travel with you and be put onto a burner or fire to heat up.\u202f This makes dinner\u00a0really quick\u00a0and easy.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”965″ img_size=”800×400″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1741977111710{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1542045385492{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”609″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1741976412229{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_cta h2=”Day 2″ shape=”square” style=”custom” css=”.vc_custom_1741888832750{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;border-left-style: none !important;border-right-style: none !important;border-top-style: none !important;border-bottom-style: none !important;}” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#212121″]Fruits again are very easy.\u202f Bring oatmeal with a jar of honey and the UHT milk. Use the remainder of the sandwich bread for toast with margarine or butter. \u202fEggs travel easily as do tins of baked beans. Sausages or bacon should be eaten today if you bring them and make sure they are frozen when you leave home. \u202fDon\u2019t\u00a0forget tea and\/or coffee and sugar.\u202f For lunch we suggest a salad \u2013 lettuce, tomatoes, avocado for example \u2013 with a balsamic vinegar instead of a complicated dressing and pieces of chicken that you precooked at home and eat cold.\u202f Dinner can be an easy pasta dish.\u202f The pasta of your choice and then make a sauce from tinned tomatoes, garlic,\u00a0onions\u00a0and a jar of pesto sauce.\u202f You can then add what you prefer into this \u2013 a tin of tuna fish, or extra vegetables like baby marrow or aubergines, or beef\/pork mince as you prefer.\u202f If you like something\u00a0sweet\u00a0then chocolate bars are the easiest to carry.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1542045394912{padding-top: 17px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_cta h2=”Day 3″ shape=”square” style=”custom” css=”.vc_custom_1741888897857{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;border-left-style: none !important;border-right-style: none !important;border-top-style: none !important;border-bottom-style: none !important;}” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#212121″]Breakfast again, if you had fruits and toast on day two then have eggs and oatmeal on day three.\u202f Have some snacks to last you the later morning, crisps, nuts, popcorn etc.\u202f as you start to head\u00a0home\u00a0and we recommend stopping off for lunch at any one of the restaurants in\u00a0Nanyuki.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”602″ img_size=”800px by 300px” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1741975137874{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1742451060380{padding-top: 17px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;background-color: #9FF9B4 !important;border-color: #ACAEAD !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_hoverbox image=”613″ primary_title=”Recipe” hover_title=”Recipe” hover_btn_title=”Click to View” hover_btn_color=”green” hover_add_button=”true” hover_btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fnelium-dev.co.ke%2FTBN%2Fcampsites%2Frecipes%2F|title:Recipe”]Here is our finger-licking recipe.[\/vc_hoverbox][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_hoverbox image=”1279″ primary_title=”Shopping List” hover_title=”Shopping List” hover_btn_title=”Click to View” hover_btn_color=”green” hover_add_button=”true” hover_btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fnelium-dev.co.ke%2FTBN%2Fshopping-list%2F|title:Shopping%20List”]The items you might need as you visit the Big North.[\/vc_hoverbox][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
